In In Old Age, seasoned repairman Azell Abernathy arrives at the home of Abasiama Ufot to redo the floors of her dilapidated New England home, where he is surprised to be met with stubborn resistance. The two clash, challenge each other, and eventually form an unlikely spiritual connection. Abasiama and Azell learn the true nature of forgiveness and love, just as her life takes a new turn. This fifth installment of Mfoniso Udofia’s Ufot family cycle offers both purge and peacemaking; both frenzy and faith. Other chapters of Mfoniso’s cycle (Sojourners, runboyrun) were performed at Magic in the 2015-16 season. Udofia’s sweeping nine-part saga tells the multi-generational stories of a family of Nigerian immigrants and their American-born children.
